The Kew Bridge Pumping Station opened in 1838 and operated through to 1944 when
it was finally closed by the Metropolitan Water Board. It became a museum in 1975. The musuem still retains the original steam-powered pumping engines, which
includes the world's largest single-cylinder beam engine.

The museum is open to the general public, and is often free on the London
Open House weekends.

Admission: In 2008: £5.00, £8.50 for the year
